Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the worlds greatest wonders.“ I

Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders.
“ In my opinion,” the first man said, “ the Egyptian pyramids are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn’t have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.
“ I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful,” the second man said, “ But I don’t think they’re the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “ What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?”
The third man thought for a long time, then he said, “ Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos(保温瓶).”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “ A thermos?” they exclaimed(大声说), “ But that’s a simple thing.”
“ Oh, no, it’s not,” the third man said, “ in the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot, in the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer?”

(答案→)D 解析：【小题1】文章第一段Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders. wonder奇迹（n.）相当于 wonderful things，故选D。【小题2】第二段中第一个男人认为是金字塔，第三段中第二个男人认为是电脑，第五段第三个男人认为是保温瓶，所以题中所问三个人不能在最伟大的奇迹上意见统一的原因是他们有不同的主意，故选B。【小题3】第二段第三行Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools.故选C。【小题4】文章最后两行How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer?保温杯冬天保暖，夏天保持低温。第三个人问“保温杯怎么知道是冬天还是夏天呢？”这是他觉得保温杯神奇的原因。故选C【小题5】第三个男人以为保温杯能够自己根据季节来调节温度，而不知道真正的原因，所以说他不是很聪明。故选B。
